My Grandma - Jeanne Margaret Booth: March 11th, 1928 - June 22nd, 2013

Diet Coke.
Soup spoons.
"Want some souse?!"
Cheese Dreams at the cottage.
Her secret, delicious brownie recipe.
Eating honey nut cheerios in her bed.
Sarasota, Florida and Bayfield, Canada.
Her love for golf and her grapefruit tree.
Bathing her grand kids in the kitchen sink.
Her never ending supply of Werther's Originals.
Always wanting to lovingly serve her childhood sweetheart.
Her long, black night gown with the two white stripes across the front.
"Hurry! You can catch Grandpa - he just left to get the paper at the Sugarbush!"
As a child, holding my hand so tight, I thought she was practicing how to make lemonade!

And in recent days, she often asked, "Where's John?"

You don't have to wonder any more Grandma. Today, you've been reunited with Grandpa after almost 3 years. And even more importantly, with your Savior, Jesus. While today is a bittersweet day, I want to choose the "sweet" part, knowing you are no longer hindered by Alzheimer's, reunited with your 1st and 2nd loves, enjoying paradise with the King of the world.

I miss you and look forward to seeing you again someday. I love you Grandma.

  1. I am honored to be called her son and to be called your father, Hannah. Thank you for the blessing of such sweet memories. She loved you all so much. How happy are the thoughts that she is now with Jesus and dad. Thank you Lord for the Living Hope that we have in Christ.
